A Formula 1 World Champion will give the enhanced 12C sports car its World
debut drive at Goodwood Festival of Speed this year. Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver Jenson Button will take to the
famous Goodwood Hill in a Production Prototype version of the revised 12C today. In addition, McLaren GT will unveil a
McLaren 12C GT3 race car adorned with a unique livery, which highlights McLaren Group’s support of the ‘GREAT’ campaign
launched this year by the Prime Minister’s Office and Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The GREAT campaign is
designed to re-affirm Britain’s international reputation and deliver long-term economic benefits through additional
tourism, trade and education.
In 2010 McLaren Automotive wowed the Goodwood crowds with the launch of the 12C, and last year the 12C GT3 made its
public dynamic debut at the event. For the third year in succession, McLaren will debut an exciting new version of its
groundbreaking sports car.
Highlights of the enhanced performance and styling package for the 12C include an engine power upgrade to 625PS (from
600PS), in addition to throttle and gearshift modifications designed to enhance the driving experience. A range of
styling options are now available to order for the new 12C; including a striking Volcano Yellow paint finish, exclusive
new interior trim comprising high quality Semi-Aniline perforated Leather and Alcantara,and a new Diamond Cut finish
available for multiple wheel designs.
The Production Prototype 12C prepared for the Michelin Super Car Run at Goodwood is presented in a stunning Volcano
Red exterior colour, features the new optional Leather interior and will be complete with Lightweight Forged Alloy Wheels
in Diamond Cut finish. The new 12C model from McLaren will be available to view up close throughout the event in the
Goodwood Super Car Paddock.
Motorsport fans in the Formula One Paddock at Festival of Speed are invited to visit McLaren GT and see the ‘GREAT’
12C GT3, which sports a bespoke livery designed by McLaren Racing’s own graphic design team. Wearing a Union Jack which
stretches the length of the car, the ‘GREAT’ 12C GT3 highlights McLaren Group’s support of the GREAT campaign.
McLaren Group is recognised by GREAT for McLaren Racing’s global success in motor sport and the increasing profile of
McLaren Automotive worldwide as a leading developer and manufacturer of ground-breaking sports cars.
The GREAT 12C GT3 will be running in Batch 3 of the Hill programme on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Goodwood Festival
of Speed.
The world has already joined the UK in celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and will soon celebrate the Olympic and
Paralympic Games making the 2012 "GREAT" campaign an excellent opportunity to showcase McLaren's 20 years of
achievements.
